On a sunlit patio at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso discusses a project for one of his tapestry designs. Gesturing with a lit cigarette, the artist stands centrally in distinctive checked trousers, accompanied by his son Paulo Picasso (left), Luis Miguel Dominguin, and expert Pierre Baudouin (far right). In the foreground, a sample of the abstract tapestry lies partially unrolled on the vibrant turquoise ground, across which the strong sunlight casts long shadows.
